Environmental Precautions: May be toxic to fish and aquatic invertebrates.Do not apply directly to water, or to areas where surface water is present or to intertidal areas below the mean high water mark. Do not contaminate water when disposing of equipment washwaters or rinsate.
6.3 METHODS AND MATERIALS FOR CONTAINMENT AND CLEAN-UP
Methods for Clean-Up:
Large Spills: Stop the flow of material, if this is without risk. Dike the spilled material, where this is possible. Absorb in vermiculite, dry sand or earth and place into containers. After removal flush contaminated area thoroughly with water.
Small Spills: Wipe up with absorbent material (e.g. cloth, fleece). Clean surface thoroughly to Remove residual contamination.
Never return spills to original containers for re-use.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
7.1 PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING:Advice on Safe Handling: Wash hands before eating, drinking, chewing gum, using tobacco or using the toilet. Remove clothing immediately if pesticide gets inside.

When transfer to another container is necessary because of leakage or damage, carefully mark and identify contents of new container. If label is damaged or missing, contact dealer or manufacturer. Absorb spills with granular clay absorbent and dispose of as indicated under PESTICIDE DISPOSAL. Do not contaminate water, food or feed by storage or disposal.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
8.1 CONTROL PARAMETERS:8.2 EXPOSURE CONTROLS:
Engineering Measures
Provide adequate general and local exhaust ventilation. Observe Occupational Exposure Limits and minimize the risk of inhalation of vapors and spray mists. Provide eyewash station and safety shower.
Individual Protection Measures:
Eye / Face Protection: Goggles or shielded safety glasses are recommended.
Skin Protection: Long-sleeved shirt and long pants. Chemical-resistant gloves, such as polyethylene or polyvinylchloride. Shoes plus socks.
Respiratory Protection: In case of inadequate ventilation or risk of inhalation of mists or vapors, use suitable respiratory equipment such as MSHA/NIOSH TC-84A with NIOSH equipped N, R, or P class filter media. Wear respiratory protection during operations where spraying or misting occurs. If respirators are used, a program should be in place to assure compliance with 29 CFR 1910.134, the OSHA Respiratory Protection standard. Wear air supplied respiratory protection if exposure concentrations are unknown.
